Re: [aaloa promoters] Java related discussions
Hi Francesco, I feel that this is also relevant in our interesting discussion; The Whitehouse Office of Management and Budget has announced Cloud Computing as the default approach to IT for US government agencies.They expect to reduce 2000+ data center infrastructure by the 40% improving security, performance and fast deployment of new applications.

Do you think that cloud computing solutions, as virtualization of the user resources accessible everywhere, will be the prominent aspect ? This it is not a recent post, but it is a good summary of the megatrends. Google and open source are not orthogonal. Android is just a demonstration of their excellent understanding of the playground (recent Oracle-IBM movements are a reaction - and the key reason for the acquisition of Sun- , against the trends, trying to get the control of the situation for the Enterprise market). http://blogs.zoho.com/general/ibm-microsoft-google-eras-of-computing ….I also recommend testing the Zoho outsourcing offer (probably the best Google competitor in some areas) In this sense embedded devices (i.e.mobile phone) are important because they are centered on the user, they are the probes that help people to inspect the physical world, maybe more important of the intelligence embedded in the environment ... the problem is that the internet access. is not free, and only in a world freely connected you can realize the AmI scenarios. The Romans built an empire with roads ;-) Well, two roman emperors came from here and you can find the roads under the highways ;-) In a networked environment the services must be centred in the user, not the devices/gadgets. You can reach the user for the same service (with the device constraints) through different devices But, probably, the most important aspect for breaking barriers is the “pay as you go” business model that comes with the clouds (allowing testing for free). Due to the Cloud scalability properties the additional cost per user is very low (if you make some numbers, calculating the CPU used by your computer, you will realise that a virtual PC can be provided in your TV for free) In the medium/long-term the service may pay for the traffic and the devices (…currently the communication service is frequently paying the device –i.e. mobile phone-). …Apple seems announcing a virtual operator ;-) …looking at the future. http://techresearch.intel.com/ProjectDetails.aspx?Id=1 - Jesús- promoters-boun...@aaloa.org escribió el 23/11/2010 21:03:59: Francesco Furfari Enviado por: promoters-boun...@aaloa.org 23/11/2010 21:05 Para: promoters@aaloa.org promoters@aaloa.org cc: Asunto: Re: [aaloa promoters] Java related discussions Dear Jesus, I realised only now the Oracle lawsuit against Google, it was in August during my vacation :-) the Outsourcing proposal of Google (mail, Ipvoice, office SW suite,..etc) is quite competitive (probably better than the IBM one) can you send me some pointer on that. and embedded
Re: [aaloa promoters] [Vote] Call for Vote on a project proposal: ZigBee 4 OSGI
Dear all,My vote is positive ... however,it is not clear the strategy for the AAL domain being the driver for the evolution of Zigbee out from a ZigBee for Health Care profile (which is a very limited area in the scope of this technology). This combined with the current activity in this technology entails a high risk for the survival. Just to mention an additional implementation being integrated in device abstraction activities running in OSAmI project; the (paralell) RD activities of the team involved in this technology are moving in the direction of overcoming the current limitations in the number of nodes in the context of real deployment scenarios (some already in operation) which are difficult to find in the AAL domain.

As promoter of this proposal and member of the Governing Board I will abstain from voting on this issue.

It means that we will add the name and logo of the project in the Manifesto and website. BRAID is a running FP7 project, and I'm confident it will provide a valuable contribution to AALOA. This vote will be open for a week. Please express your vote in time. BRAID (Bridging Research in Ageing and ICT Development) is an EU FP7 Support Action aimed at developing a comprehensive Research and Technological Development (RTD) roadmap for active ageing, by consolidating existing roadmaps and by describing and launching a stakeholder co-ordination and consultation mechanism. The projects aims are to characterise key research challenges and produce a vision for a comprehensive approach in supporting the well-being and socio-economic integration of increasing numbers of senior citizens in Europe. BRAID is building upon the experience and knowledge developed in previous projects, namely AALIANCE , CAPSIL , ePAL , and SENIOR , while taking account of e-inclusion efforts in the EU27 as well as Australia, Canada, Japan and the US.
